The Murder of LaRoy Gorman (The Steak and Ale Murder)

Cold Case Crew

Banking Executive LaRoy Gorman seemingly had the world on a string. Gorman, a self made man who scaled the proverbial ladder of success, sat on the board of multiple charities and was a well respected member of the Charleston Business Community. On the evening of November 12, 1982, Gorman and his girlfriend were leaving the Steak and Ale Restaurant when he was struck by three (3) gunshots as he attempted to enter his vehicle. His assailant promptly peeled out of the parking lot, never to be identified. But what started out as a fairly straightforward investigation into one of Charleston’s most respectable citizens soon became muddled with confusion as revelations of Gorman’s personal life were brought into question. Who would want to kill LaRoy Gorman? Join the CCC for the final installment in our “Crimes of Our Capitol City Series” The 1982 “Murder of LaRoy Gorman,” a Cold Case local to Kanawha County, WV.
